What to wear on your Valentine’s date

Sporting the theme of romance, reds and pinks are a must this Valentine’s day. The monochrome red dress is a traditional failsafe staple that will never lose its appeal, or perhaps go for something a little softer by opting for a pastel pink. Despite what instinct tells us, scarlet red and fuchsia pink make a great pairing – the duo of clashing colours creates serious impact, and this combination was really popular in Spring Summer 2014 (SS14). Fully embrace the statement by incorporating stripes or geometric shapes into this look, or just stick with block colours. Alternatively, inject a splash of these colours through your accessories, whether it’s jewellery, bags, socks or lingerie.

Why not have a go at incorporating some playful prints into your Valentine’s outfit – Burberry’s iconic heart print shirt from their Autumn Winter 2013 (AW13) collection has since been imitated across the high street and no doubt will be in stores this February. Worn by Harry Styles and Victoria Beckham, this is a look for both men and women. Heart embellished underwear and cute printed socks are also available for something more subtle – you will find plenty of fun accessories in stores online and on the high street.

When deciding what to wear this Valentine’s day, the location of your soirée – whether it is your local pub or a swanky restaurant – is something to consider. For women, a simple LBD (little black dress) can be very effective, or keep it fun and flirty with something less formal such as a shift or tea dress. A floral print is also fitting for the occasion.

For something more understated, wear a pair of skinny fit jeans accompanied with a basic top, leather jacket and staple stilettos.

As for men, it’s all about mixing and matching. Turtle necks are right on trend this season.

A versatile piece, it can be teamed with a smart tailored suit or accompanied with some slim fit jeans, and is easily adaptable to the tone of the date.

Loved by men and women alike, you can’t go wrong in a suit. Lose the tie or switch the blazer for an informal jacket – bomber jackets are popular amongst the high street – and you could even choose a staple piece of knitwear for a more casual look. Alternatively, jeans with a smart shirt – patterned or plain – put together with brogues, loafers or desert boots, will always look great.
